Nova Scotia Adoption Story

Blending babies
Lisa Van Houten and her husband Craig Fraser are just like any expecting parents — excited, anxious and busy making preparations. And like other parents, they are uncertain exactly when their new bundle of joy will be arriving — but their circumstances are different.

The couple are currently waiting to find out when they can travel to China to adopt their fourth child, a daughter they’ve already named Catherine.

Five years ago, when Van Houten was two months pregnant with their eldest son, Christopher, the couple decided to begin the process of adopting from China.
